150 liters???

I have never studied this topic before and this page is light on citations but I'm questioning the sentence "Over 150 liters of fluid enter the glomeruli of an adult every day". First of all, I'm assuming this is referring to an adult human, not another species, and second, adult humans only contain about 5 liters of blood. Where is the 150 liter number coming from?

on parle ici de l'urine primitive produite sur une journée: en une journee entière 150 litres d'urine primitive serra passé du sang vers les tubules rénal mais une très très grande majorité d'eau serra réabsorbé au niveau du tube contourné proximal et un peut au niveau du tube contourné distal ce qui explique la diminution du volume d'urine final (un humain urine moins d'un litre par jour) 2A01:E0A:524:F1C0:3D4D:A1F6:71AB:3A98 (talk) 15:47, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
